Now let’s configure Screen Print pricing for your shop—or for the production partner handling the work.

In Settings, turn on Screen Printing, then open the Screen Printing section.

Begin with your Screen Print vendor.

Add the company name and contact information you want carried onto Screen Print Purchase Orders. These details remain internal and do not appear on customer Quotes or Invoices.

Next, enter the Screen and Film charge for each color.

These are one-time setup costs—not per-piece charges.

A three-color front and one-color back create four setup units. If your vendor includes screens or film in another charge, leave the corresponding value at zero.

If additional print locations receive a discount, enter that percentage next.

Apply to PO changes the production cost and comparison.

Apply to Quote changes the customer-facing price.

Turn on both to pass the vendor discount through—or apply it only to the PO when you want to retain that difference as margin.

Now build your Screen Print Tiers.

Each row begins with a minimum quantity. The tool selects the highest minimum the job qualifies for, making your lowest tier the effective Screen Print minimum.

Enter the per-piece run price under each color count, followed by any per-piece shipping cost.

The final markup column follows the calculation selected under Apparel and Print Pricing Defaults—either dollars per piece or a percentage of the print basis.

When Screen Printing is enabled, this schedule establishes the customer’s base print price.

If DTF is also enabled, the customer Quote continues using this selling schedule while the tool compares the actual Screen Print and DTF production costs separately.

That lets you choose the better production method without unexpectedly changing the customer’s price.

Use Add Tier as quantities expand, and Color Count when your shop supports more complex artwork.

Then select Save Settings.

Once the schedule is built, the tool can price each Screen Print job automatically from its quantity, colors, and print locations.
